Just as the film finished, everyone chose to get up from their seats and convene at the front of the room. They had questions and they wanted answers.
"So that's how you became Iron Man?" Steve asked. He received a nod from Tony in response. He didn't really like to think back on how it all started very much. It's not a nice story.
"There's one thing that still confuses me. Why did Obadiah want you dead in the first place?" Quill asked. "I assume it was because he wanted to continue selling weapons to our enemies and he didn't want me to know about it." Tony responded. With him out of the way, under the guise of it being a kidnapping, Obadiah would've been free to do whatever he wanted to with 'Stark Industries'. However, that is a possibility that Tony did not wish to dwell on.
"How long do you think Obadiah was double dealing for? He called you naïve, it makes me think he'd been doing it for years." Bruce asked. "It could've started when I took over the company after dad died. He might've seen my uncertainty running the company, I mean he helped me figure out everything for those first few years. Hell, it could've started before then, maybe even after I'd been CEO for a few years. It's hard to pinpoint exactly when." Tony explained. He'd pondered the same thing for a while. Mostly when the self-deprecation got bad and all of the 'How could I have not seen this coming?' and 'It's so obvious when I think back on it.' thoughts kicked in.
"Obadiah reminds me a lot of Darren Cross." Scott said. "The CEO of Pym Tech?" Coulson asked. "Yeah... him. You'll see why. I think." Scott replied.
"I'm still trying to figure out how Director Fury got past JARVIS." Rhodey said. As far as he knew, JARVIS caught everything, nothing could get past him. "I have my ways, colonel." Fury replied. "It's true." Maria confirmed. Fury could get in and out of anywhere unscathed no matter how high security it was.
"I have an announcement." The woman in the walls said. "I am bringing in more people. From 1989 please welcome Peggy Carter and Howard Stark. From 2014, Sam Wilson. From 2015, Vision. From 2018, Okoye and Hank Pym. Thank you for your cooperation." As their names were spoken, each person materialized at the front of the room with a flicker of purple and white wispy energy. "If you could all introduce yourselves again..." The woman in the walls requested.
Later, after everyone had gotten settled and had gotten semi-acquainted, Peggy surveyed the room, when she caught sight of Steve her eyes locked onto him. He looked as though he hasn't aged a day but she remembered that, when prompted by the strange figureless woman, Steve had said he was from the year 2012. And... that couldn't be right could it? The Steve she knew had died when he crashed the Valkyrie into the ocean and yet somehow this Steve was living. "Steve, how are you-" Peggy started to ask but Steve cut her off. "Alive?" Steve finished. "I survived the crash. I was frozen, asleep in the ocean for almost 70 years." He explained. "How did they find you." Howard asked, finally joining the conversation. "All of that will be explained later." Lorraine interjected.
Howard left the conversation with Steve and his eyes fell upon his son almost immediately. Tony looked much older than Howard had last seen him but he could still recognize his son in the man's older features, even with his odd choice of facial hair. "Dad." Tony greeted curtly when Howard had approached him. "Tony." Howard greeted just as curtly.
"My King." Okoye said to T'Challa as she walked up to him. "Shuri." She acknowledged, nodding to the Princess. "General, pleased that you have joined us." T'Challa spoke.
Sam took the moments after everyone had started to converse individually to study his surroundings. His gaze also lingered on Steve... and then on Bucky. He instantly recognized the man as the Winter Soldier. The man who ripped his steering wheel out of his car, out of his hands while he was driving. The man Sam was almost positive would kill him. The man who just so happened to be Captain America's best friend. Sam noted the absence of Barnes' silver metal left arm and wondered how the man lost it.
"Vision." Wanda greeted when she spotted the synthezoid. "Ms. Maximoff." Vision greeted, politely. "Do you know where we are?" He asked. "I don't, but the woman in the walls said that we are going to be watching films... about ourselves." Wanda explained.
"Hey Hank." Scott greeted as he saw Hank finally appear in his field of vision. "Scott." Hank greeted back.
As everyone started to re-take their chosen seats, Peggy, Howard, Sam, Hank, Vision, Okoye looked around for empty spaces that they could take. Peggy and Howard spotted two empty spaces behind Steve, Sam opted to take the empty one beside Steve. Vision chose a seat beside Wanda. Hank settled for the one of the two empty spaces to Scott's left and Okoye took a seat in front of T'Challa.
Words appeared on the screen, they read 'Up next: The Incredible Hulk.' 'Year: 2010'
"Dr. Banner, if you could please put on the band that is sitting on the arm of your chair. That would be much appreciated." Lorraine said. "Why? What is it?" Bruce asked, warily. "It's an inhibitor, and when you put it on, you will not be able to as you have put it in the past 'Show us your party trick'" Bruce smiled a bit at that, there was a large chance these movies would make him angry at some point and he was glad he couldn't cause any damage by doing so, so he snapped the metal ring onto his left wrist. "I'll leave you all alone now." The woman in the walls said.
